The alleged mistress was later filmed being cornered by the wife’s family

The authorities eventually brought a stop the violence after more backup arrived, but it is unclear whether the husband or the wife were charged following the burst of violence.

A second segment of the viral video also appears to show the mistress curled up in a ball on the street, having apparently been surrounded by the couple’s relatives, who took over the job of hunting her down.

Those involved were not identified in Chinese media.
